1) You have mentioned that the clutch is almost completely open while standing still with D engaged, is this the prime reason of slight lagging when slowly pressing the gas to move?
yes, if you release the brake and immediately press the gas, this is the case. It is always better not to press the gas immediately unless you have to (uphill), you will notive less delay. That it isn't superagressive at launch (if you would mean this by lag) is calibration, it is to preserve both engine and CVT. it is called torque reduction, the engines power delivery is minimized, although full throttle.
For issue with CVT etc etc.. lagging bla bla... please go to this thread:
http://forum.autoworld.com.my/index.php?sh...54&st=0&start=0There is a guy call Kristof who is the Manager of Customer Care Malaysia @ Punch Powertrain replying directly all the question ask. Please read all his prev comment before asking question as many of them has been asked before. Also please please ppl!! refrain from being an idiot that pretend smart punya attitude and taint msian reputation...
hmm....i have aggresive driving style, especially enjoy quick pick up from standstill.
when i say it will waste more fuel in D mode, perhaps i should rephrase...
while delay, if i still pedal it, it consumes fuel correct? this is where it waste fuel, because of human behavior, not engine capability, correct?
frankly, when i saw "1.6L turbocharged", straight in mind, must be very powerful, pickup fast....guess need to read more about CVT....
